  1. Question about giving report

    Crazed posted a topic in General Students

    So I am not a new SN, and I understand how busy the primaries are so I try to keep my reports as short and sweet as possible. When I give report I highlight abnormal data, keep everything as fast as...

    Crazed replied to Klimpys's topic in General Students

  5. Question about giving report

    Crazed replied to Crazed's topic in General Students

    I think that's what ended up throwing me off. We're taught to reassess 30 mins after giving meds but the time frame hadn't passed and it seemed to me that waking her would have been ill advised to ask...

  6. Help :'( I'm lost on the steps I need to take to go into med school.

    Crazed replied to brie_1994's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you did then you'd know that med school is far more likely to take you if your undergrad is in Philosophy (with high MCAT scores, and all additional courses) than if you have a BSN. Med school...

  7. Questioning ethics/legality of "bake-sale" threat

    Crazed replied to RNGriffin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are delightful. I can only hope that I work with lots of nurses like you but I know this isn't going to be the case. True story - Once when having a review (In my life before nursing) my manager...

  9. Overweight issues; uncomfortable with being practiced on by another student

    Crazed replied to molybdenum's topic in General Students

    I think the first step is accepting yourself. Regardless of where you'd like to be the first step is liking where you are. Because I honestly like who I am I can make jokes, wink, tease people, and...

  10. I quit! :(

    Crazed replied to Stoogesfan's topic in General Students

    I have a magnet on my fridge that says, "Good moms have sticky floors, filthy ovens, and happy kids." I tell my mom things like, "Oh thank you so much for offering to help out by cleaning Ma. I really...

  11. Question about marijuana use as a nurse

  12. Question about marijuana use as a nurse

    Crazed replied to sasha_t's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    And the associated side effects of Buspar, Klonopin, and Xanax are? Just because a medication is FDA approved does not automatically mean that it's better for treatment of an illness. I understand...

  13. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    Crazed replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No they're not. We wear gloves as a precaution. Vaccines are a precaution. This is not an ethical or moral dilemma. I just got my first every flu shot last year and the conversation with my NP went...

  14. Question about marijuana use as a nurse

    Crazed replied to sasha_t's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You might want to ask him that question again. New research points to marijuana improving cognitive function in bipolar patients. In any case as long as you have a prescription for a substance, live...

  17. Advice on Dealing With Condescending Nurses Need

    Crazed replied to MotherRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Argh. Again I do not understand why people don't say things like, "I feel what you said was a little rude," when bad behavior is presented to them. Why are people so afraid to stand up for themselves?...

  18. SIDS Pediatric Code

    Crazed replied to harrird's topic in Emergency

    I lost a child to SIDS in 2004. It was a grueling and horrible experience but one I have learned from. That mother has some dark days/week/months/years ahead of her but hopefully she has a strong...

  19. What was the first thing to go?

    Crazed replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    Sleep? I love sleep so much. Sometimes I go to bed at 7:00 pm and get up at 4:30 am. Sometimes I just lay in bed and stare at the ceiling thinking about how much I love sleep. Sometimes I try to...

  20. Financial aid for laid-off workers

    Crazed replied to Guttercat's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This. In PA we have no search requirements until extended federal bennies, and even then all I had to do was sign off to being a full time RN student with the name of my university. These rules are...

    Crazed replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I reached a point about five years ago when I decided that I would no longer play these games. Now when I have someone ask me a question I answer them honestly. If someone asks me about a flaw I say...

  23. The Last Minute Shuffle!

    Crazed replied to HeiseC's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    In our program you have to have health insurance. I think our program does a good job of laying out time frames for us and is very clear on when we need to complete physicals, clearance, uniforms...

    Crazed replied to tenjuna's topic in Male Nursing Students

    My first code brown I spent my lunch break asking, "Do I smell like poo? I swear I still smell it. Is it on me somewhere?" I was paranoid for the next two weeks that I still smelled like poo. I have...

  25. All of a sudden an ASN is no good anymore

    Crazed replied to pattyslattery's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Academia is the next bubble to burst. People cannot afford college as is, and as states cut budgets there will be more of a push for quick certificate programs, and more hands on education giving us...
